Catherine, Princess of Wales, has been in the thoughts of many around the world in recent months, ever since she revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment.

Today, Princess Kate shared some wonderful news about her recovery: she has finished her chemotherapy and is now “cancer-free.”

“With summer wrapping up, I can’t express how relieved I am to have finished my chemotherapy treatment,” the Princess of Wales said in a statement from Kensington Palace today.

She went on to share that the past nine months have been incredibly tough for their family. Life changed so quickly, and they’ve had to find ways to cope with everything and stay strong while facing an uncertain future.

She explained that dealing with cancer is complicated and scary, not just for the person going through it, but also for those closest to them. It forces you to face your own limits and makes you see life in a new way.
